It's actually happened here before but I don't want to name names.

It wasn't us, although the CGers responsible come here often enough.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

That was actually back at SidGames, a long time ago.Originally posted by Zero
i was just wondering what poly would have done in the same situation, but then i remember apoc telling me he had a similar episode....
good job poly.
The CounterGlow thing was another instance. SidGames did it once (with Apoc), and CG also did it once now.It wasn't us, although the CGers responsible come here often enough.

The same thing would happen here, as with almost any forum that has people who actually care."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

It wasn't CG it was Sidgames.
And my appreciation has varied.
It definitely was handled the wrong way."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

1) Poster makes suicide thread
2) Poster cannot be contacted
3) Make contact with poster's relatives (parents in this case)
What is the correct sequence...? Should we have called 911 first, perhaps?

Curious . . . . . how does anyone get contact information to family members of another poster??A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

It's pretty easy if you know their name.Originally posted by MrFun

If you don't, it's a bit more difficult. You can use their IP, and date&time, and notify their ISP, who will (hopefully) cooperate."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

1. I had said it was going to happen more than a day later so just because you couldn't contact me during certain hours you knew I could be contacts...Originally posted by Asher

2. It was more of a "hey, what's a quick way to kill myself if I don't have to the balls to do it the freaky eloborate way I've planned now" than a real suicide thread.
3. My parents were the reason and the immediate thing that happened when they found out was me getting yelled at for hours about how bad it'd make them look if I killed myself. And guess what, if I hadn't been pretty tired I would have carried it out later that night after they were called. And guess what, if my mind hadn't got ****ed up when I was asleep, I probably would have done it the next day.
4. A much more effective solution would have been telling me why I shouldn't kill myself in terms of what I have to live for as opposed to what I accomplished in the past and could no longer do."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

Well that's ****ed up. I think your parents should've shown a bit more concern for your well-being, assuming that's what really happened. You can look forward to living away from them on your own if that's how they feel.Originally posted by Apocalypse

That would go along with it, yes, but in the meantime having someone who is in your RL to talk to you is 99/100 much better than some guy telling you the same over a computer screen.4.

So you postponed your suicide because you were sleepy?

Yeah, but part of the thing is that most of my RL friends were pissed at me because they thought I didn't want to hang out with them and quit the wrestling team, not that my parents were grounding me from everything.Originally posted by Theben

Well, there were some elaborate thins with it, like killing the dog and things like that...and I had been up for many, many hours straight...I needed to be somewhat coherant.So you postponed your suicide because you were sleepy?
